Ethereum Price Struggles Below $2,550
Ethereum price started a recovery wave above the $2,250 resistance level. ETH climbed above the $2,320 and $2,450 resistance levels like Bitcoin above $65,000.
However, the bears were active near the $2,550 resistance zone. A high was formed at $2,555 before there was a downside correction. The price declined below the $2,450 level. It dipped below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1,911 swing low to the $2,555 high.
Besides, there was a break below a connecting bullish trend line with support at $2,500 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair tested the $2,320 support and is currently rising.
Ethereum price is still trading below $2,550 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price is facing hurdles near the $2,500 level. The first major resistance is near the $2,550 level and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
A close above the $2,550 level might send Ether toward the $2,685 resistance. The next key resistance is near $2,865. An upside break above the $2,865 resistance might send the price higher toward the $3,000 resistance zone in the near term.
Another Decline In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,550 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near $2,350. The first major support sits near the $2,300 zone.
A clear move below the $2,300 support might push the price toward $2,150 and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1,911 swing low to the $2,555 high. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,120 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $2,050.
